Select an instrument from the menu or enter its name into the text box. Your selection is used for the currently highlighted part in the Parts [[Window 9 | (Ctrl + 9)]]) window.

+

+

To select the instrument into all the parts in the Parts window, use the Select for all parts check box .

+

+

===How show this window===

+

+

Non Melodic Percussion in the main window Instr. menu, or Non M. Perc. in the Parts window menu.

+

+

Shortcut keys:[[Window 21 | Ctrl + 21]]

+

+

====Special note for blind and partially sighted keyboard users====

+

+

The non melodic percussion menu actually appears in a new separate window which the user can move around and place where they like on the screen. So it is like a floating menu - but permanently available until user closes it.

+

+

So, to get to it you need to use the Alt key a second time. This also means you can get to this window using Ctrl + tab once it is shown, and you can close it like any other window.

+

+

All the entries are set out horizontally in a word wrapped row, to give more space for them, so you need to use the left and right arrow keys to navigate instead of the up and down arrows.

+

+

For melodic instruments use {{w8}}.

For the wave shape instruments use {{w196}}.

This part then can be used in many places in Tune Smithy using the part number, and is the equivalent of a Midi Out channel in FTS. You can't use Midi channels directly as the notes for a single part often have to be relayed to many different channels for retuning purposes.
